Some artists just have a swagger that can’t be touched. A way to inject your body with movement and flow by merely holding one note for a duration of time. The ability to work you like a marionette using their voice or instrumental abilities. Jonah Tolchin is one such artist and he fully displays it on a new track called “Every Dream Can Become a Nightmare” with this lyric video.
The groove is a goddamn epidemic. Infectious in every sense of the word. Penetrating each pore of your body and forcing your limbs to sway and body to undulate to the waves and flow of the tune.
Tolchin mentions, “Knowing that “every dream can become a nightmare”, can inspire us to do our best. To put the work in that a healthy relationship requires. Even just with oneself. Shit happens, life can get dark. We all know this. But do we really face it? Rather than ignore the suffering, this song takes the position of “diving into the sea of glass” and confronts the reality of darkness and light head on. For me, songs that do this are often times the most therapeutic. That’s why my first love is the Blues. Everything I do musically sprouts from that simple philosophy of transforming depressive energy into creative energy. That’s the Blues. That’s what I strive for.”
I am honestly not sure what else there is to say. Tolchin again hammers home that he is a force to be reckoned with…wait, correction, a force that is unable to be reckoned with. Dude is just that good.
